1t strikes us, very painfully, that
the great statesman Blaine must be
getting off in the head He imagines
he was counted out of the Presiden-
cy in 1884, and sometimes he boldly
says so, at which the country at large
grins a very broad grin but says
nothing. Then he is often under
the hallucinasion that he is Samuel
j. Tilden, and talks about a great
fraud that happened No sooner
does Congress assemble than he
sends in rival message to that of
Cleveland, and the republican news
papers of his kind publish both as
the Presidents message. Mr..
Blaine's messages contain PROPOSE
tions that are intended to startle the
country, bnt Mr.. Blaine seems to
know nothing about chestnuts, which
is unfortunate for him. His prohibit
ton sentiments too produce a wierd
effect upon his discourse, and alto

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 1.-THE
concluding chapter in the West yir-
ginia Senatorial contest was written
to-day by the swearing in of Charles
J. Faulkner, and it is presumed now
that if he behaves himself he will be
which he was elected without further
embarrassment. Immediately after
the Journal was read Mr.. Hoar arose
and presented the report of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections,
which was written one, and en-
bodied all the facts of the case in
detail, which are so familiar to our
people. The report was read at
length and concluded with two reso-
buttons, one that it was the unani-
nous opinion of the committee that
Hon. Dan Lucas was not entitled to
the seat, and the other one that Mr.
Faulkner was, and further that his
term of office should date from
March A, 1887, the date upon which
Mr.. Camden's term closed. This
was regarded as direct rebuke to
Col. Lucas for contesting the case at
all after it had been settled by the
Legislature, and rather in the nature
of snub to Gov. Wilson for his
hasty action in appointing Mr.. Lu-
cas- and
IGNORING THE NECESSITY
of an election, in his proclamation
calling the Legislature together in
special session.
The report of the committee does
not recognize that Mr.. Lucas was
even Senator during the period be-
tween the date of his appointment
and that of the election of Mr..
Faulkner at the special session of
the Legislature The resolution au-
thorizing the swearing in Of Mr..
Faulkner distinctly says that his
term of office shall date from the 4th
of March last, and of course he will
draw the salary, and Mr.. Lucas will
not even get cent for his trouble,
unless Mr.. Faulkner sees proper to
tender him something for the period
he is supposed to have filed the va
cancy under the appointment of Gov.
Wilson. In nut shell the creden-
tials Of Mr.. Lucas were ignored by
the committee entirely in it's report,
and when Plat, of Connecticut, call
ed attention to the fact in the SEN
ate to-day, there was no disposition
shown to correct the supposed over
sight. When the clerk concluded
the reading, the resolutions
WERE UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED
and Mr.. Faulkner was requested to
comeb forward and take the oath,
which he did, being escorted by Sen
ator Kenna. After being sworn he
signed his name to the oath and was
then conducted to his seat a full
fiedged United States Senator. The
Senate then proceeded with it's rou-
tine business. The first thing that
Senator Faulkner did, after taking
his seat, was to write a telegram adj
dressed to his wife advising her of
of the Senate's action.

A merry Christmas to everybody
is the salutation which the New Do
MrSIoS sends out to-day.
We mean it for everybody, whether
he be democrat, republican OF
mugwump; whether he votes for pro
hibition or free whiskey; whether he
is high or low, rich or poor, and
without regard to race, color, or pre-
vious condition of servitude. Of we
were pressed we might except the
man who dent pay for his paper.)
This is one period in the year
when a man can afford to be-when
he ought to be-charitable. 1t is
time when we ought to recognize
the brotherhood of all men. 1t is a
season into which there enters no
politics, no race prejudice and no
class distinction.
We are all on level at Christmas.
No individual, no community, no
nation, no country can claim su.
perior interest or benefit in the great
event we celebrate. 1t belongs to
mankind
Christmas is, as it should be, the
gladdest season of the year. From
the oldest down to the youngest of
every population, all round the
world, there is an interest and a
pleasure which no other holiday
brings.
We hope the present Christmas
season may be the most delightful
and happy to all our people that
they have ever known, and that they
may enter upon new year of greater
prosperity than all the past.
